I count that day as wisely spent
In which I do some good.
For someone who is far away
Or shares my neighborhood.
A day devoted to the deed
That lends a helping hand,
And demonstrates a willingness
To care and understand.
I long to be of usefulness
In little ways and large,
Without a selfish motive
And without the slightest charge.
Because in my philosphy
There is never any doubt
That all of us here on earth
Must help each other out.
I feel that day is fruitful
And the time is worth the while,
When I promote the happiness
Of one enduring smile.
